In the given mechanism of base hydrolysis of an ester, the conversion of 3 to 4 goes in the direction, due to mum CH OH CH 5 O a. forward; resonance stabilised conjugate base of the carboxylic acid O b. backward; resonance stabilised conjugate base of the carboxylic acid O c. it is at equilibrium O d. forward; pKa of ethanol is higher than that of the carboxylic acid COET EIOH
Hydrolysis of an ester is shown below. Identify C and D if C should be the acid end of the ester IT + NaOH heat H₂O C H* Oa. C is sodium acetate and D is acetic acid O b. C is sodium phenoxide and D is phenol Oc. C is sodium formate and D is formic acid O d. C is phenylmethoxide and D is benzyl alcohol D
Before the work-up of the reaction, the base hydrolysis of methyl benzoate would yield O a. benzoic acid and methanol O b. sodium benzoate and methanol O c. methyl benzoate and methoxide ion O d. benzoic acid and hydroxide ion
